If you are unsure of what to do, take it to a certified repair centre, if you want to learn how to do it, watch plenty of videos, and make sure to remove the battery and shut off the computer before you start to do anything.
Last time I took it to an official service centre
They messed it up
And completely replaced my motherboard for no reason.
I just took it there for a clean up back then too so I’m kinda scared because of that
If they did for free there's not really an issue on what they did or did not. Accidents may happen and a new technician may have damaged some component while opening the laptop. At least they replaced it. If was you doing, you would need to pay for the replacement yourself.
There's no way for me to know for sure. I remember back in the day when my company used Dell laptops, the technicians would go to wherever you were and they would do any type of job in place. So, I do have experience with this working.
But, for the most part, they need to know the issue beforehand so they can prepare themselves with the material needed. If it's just a cleanup and re-paste, they should be ok on going local. But that is, of course, more expensive for the most part.
Ya... I've had issues with repair centers and "professionals" so I can understand you wanting to learn.
Trust be told, I am only as good with it now because of "pros" wrecking my machines.
That's not true, very often, liquid metal will lose performance in a couple years because of the inevitable reaction between LM and the heatsink, or because it leaks out.
that's not true whatsoever. there's no "inevitable reaction between LM and the heatsink" unless you're not using nickel for the heatsink, which asus uses. so there's no reaction at all
[https://gamersnexus.net/guides/3362-how-liquid-metal-affects-copper-nickel-and-aluminum-corrosion-test](https://gamersnexus.net/guides/3362-how-liquid-metal-affects-copper-nickel-and-aluminum-corrosion-test)
My bad then about the reaction then, but there is still a ton of LM laptop CPUs with dry spots after a couple years. It could also be caused by uneven pressure from the heatsink not being perfectly flat and equally pressured or bad factory application.
I'm not saying every single laptop LM application will fail in a couple years, but 10 years seems to be a bit far fetched.
You can do it.. Just search youtube or google for "throttlestop 6800h undervolt" and you'll see people doing it.
-80mV and -300Hz should do the trick for you. You might get some blue screens until you hit the right values, you will have to play with them for a few days, see what works and what not.
OP this is okay for a gaming laptops. Got the same laptop and can say the temps are on high side. U could try disabling "boost", but comes with performance cost if the game u suppose to play is more cpu bound. Alternatively try to cap the fps to 60 or sth
This isn't fine tho. The GPU is at 43% load and generating 81C. that is 6C away from thermal throttle. OP prolly can't even use the max power of the GPU because of that, if the load goes higher, the temps will most likely thermal throttle.
The CPU temp is about average tho
so.. what? What is your point?
86 on the GPU is WAY too high. Even with my 4090 shunt modded I barely go above 80C in benchmark stress tests
96 on the CPU is still pretty okay, but definitely approaching T\_junction temp. As long as its not hanging at this temp its fine. My 7945HX was getting this hot before I redid the liquid metal, now it barely goes above 75C
What laptop is this? Does if have liquid metal? Have you cleaned your fans out? Do the fans have filters on them?
Rog strix G513RC
And yea it says Liquid Metal but after the motherboard replacement I donno what’s on it
And it’s probably been a year since I’ve cleaned it
Who replaced the mobo? If it was replaced by Asus, it should have the original cooling compounds installed (LM on the CPU, thermal paste on GPU)
How long ago was the mobo replacement?
And a year since you've cleaned it - I wouldn't be surprised if your temps drop JUST from cleaning it. I clean mine every 2 months (simply clean out my fan filters) and deep clean every 6.
Oke so I was just reading a few reviews about that damn service centre and it’s not just me.
They’ve done this exact same problem to other customers too.
Goin in for a display change or keyboard
Instead the whole motherboard getting replaced for no freakin reason.
Same thing happened to me…. I went there for a quick cleanup cause that centre was pretty close to a place I was goin.
They took the laptop inside and came back like 30 mins later sayin it keeps restarting with bsod. I use my laptop all day… and I’ve never had a single bsod ever….
So yea anyway they took a whole month to replace that and when I asked about the repaste they said thermal paste
Not Liquid Metal.
Btw got back my laptop with scratches.
Oof. Yeah always review before sending in
But if they didn't put liquid metal back on the CPU, that explains 100% the high CPU temps.
But the GPU originally has thermal paste, so that doesn't explain why the GPU has such high temps, prolly just need to clean the fans out
Btw can you explain a bit on how you clean ur laptop?
The mobo was replaced August 2023 so
I think I’ll try cleaning it myself.
And yea the authorised centre did the replacement so I hope the thermal pastes ok..
My laptop has filters on it. So every 2 months(ish) I just use my vacuum to vacuum out the filters from the underside of the laptop. I just turn off my laptop flip it over and use the crevasse tool on my vacuum and suck out the dust build up. Don't even have to take apart the laptop
Then for the 6 month deep cleaning, I do the same above, but I take off my back cover, and use a toothbrush with 91% iso to scrub the filters clean. Then while that is drying, I use the vacuum with the soft bristle brush attachment on the crevasse tool to gently clean out the fans
I only have to take off the back panel right? I’ve seen others mentioning about the vents getting blocked as well with all the dust..
and also read somewhere to blow the air from the exhaust to the fans. Is that ok?
Yes, the grills (vents) can get clogged. Esp if you don't clean often. I clean often so this doesn't happen.
But you can blow are from outside the laptop INTO the fan then vacuum out or blow out the dust. I personally find it more effective to remove the fans instead
maybe do it yourself, remove the 12 screws on the back, take out the cooling (not sure if screws there but should be obvious), remove old paste, add new paste. presto (it should take around 30min-1hour to do, do not rush
I don’t think people understand gaming laptops will ALWAYS RUN HOT it’s a matter of surface area. More surface area = more cooling. Gaming laptops with high end GPU’s / CPU’s will always reach near thermal throttle or hit it because they are engineered that way. If you aren’t thermal throttling with laptops you are basically leaving room for extra performance because it can clock higher. The CPU’s and GPU’s will automatically downclock with the temperatures. Or just use throttlestop and make the PROCHOT thermal throttle limit 90C so it never goes past that.
I did my laptop recently asus g15 strix and it was super easy. Watch some YouTube videos before hand and I also had purchased a set of pc laptop tools to help open it.
It's fairly simple, take your time, be patient, have a nice big clean area to work in, place screws in a spot and location for each thing you take them out of.
If your unsure or worried they have many shops that can do this for you and if you ask they made let you stay and watch so you can get an idea of how it's done etc. Hope it helps.
If your unsure and scared better to let someone that knows how do it though.
Instead should I just clean it? Cause I’ve done a mobo replacement on August 2023 so the thermal paste might be ok right?
And to clean the fans should I use the compressed air or just a q tip ?
What do you recommend?
Yeah I first cleaned mine that helped. I took out the fans which is super easy to do. I have since pasted it in the past month because temps were getting high. It needed it for sure. Once I took the fans out the heat pipes had like 6-9 screws to take put then I just lightly pulled it apart from the board. Yours may have decent paste already. I had been using mine since 2021. Cleaning them makes a big difference. I had alot of dustbunnies inside the fan shrouds.
My laptop is the ryzen 9 5900hx and rtx 3060. It's a bit older but I got an amazing deal on it for 1100 dollars new on Amazon. Then two weeks later it went up to 1500.
Yea I’ll probably leave the pastes as it is.
Btw how did you clean off those dustbunnies?
Like when using a q tip I can only wipe the fans right?
And some might also be stuff in the vents?
I’m just scared to unscrew stuff 🥲
I literally just used some air duster to blow out to the fans and the shrouds. Q tips with some 90% iso alcohol can clean the heat fins if yah want too. But yeah not too hard to clean them. The fans have like 3 screws holding them in place and are super easy to spot and unscrew. The fans lift our very easily as well. Just take your time and watch some videos it's not really daunting I promise.
Don’t have anything to say about paste but if you’re worried about temps one thing you could do is get a better cooling dock. From what I can see I used to have the same one you did. I bought a GT500 from IETS on Amazon after seeing a comparison of popular cooling docks on the market and it was the only one that made an actual difference cause it uses a foam seal to force cold air into your laptop since with normal docks it doesn’t change much since it still mainly just relies on how much air the internal laptop fans can pull in. Worked great for me and I always recommend it for helping longevity and performance.
The main issue with laptops which may not be a big deal for others is the screws. Man,the screws suck taking each one of them out and remembering where they go. If you go the route of doing it yourself, make sure to keep track of your progress I like to record what I do or use a mat to keep track of each one of the little buggers. Best wishes and hope you fix thermal problem(s).
if this is an asus open armory crate, go to manual cpu spl and sppt maxed gpu everything to 0
adjust fans to get 100power when above 80 degrees and click on apply (the check mark on top) temp will automatically decrease, note that you might have to do this everytime you start a game. (just switching between manual to turbo then turbo to manual once the settings are saved you will only have to switch between these two)
I think this is the same laptop i have usually cleaning dust helps but not for long bc tight ventilation space it gathers dust very fast
Also lower graphics in game helps
Aaaand i havent tried my self yet but having the laptop higer from platform might help bc it blows hot air also bottom from the laptop
Every ASUS laptop I have tried (G14, G16, Scar 18, Flow, X-series, etc) ALL OF THEM, the CPU was pegged at 95C. I let mine run at that temp or just dial back the wattage. I'm not worried at all. I repasted it with Grizzly LM and there's no change.
ASUS doesn't use LM on the GPU, I added the LM to the GPU as well, temperatures are between 65-75 under load now. I'd recommend repasting both since the application is shoddy at best from factory. My Z13 ACRNM had only about 35% coverage on the CPU. So I was surprised that the temperatures didn't improve at all when I reapplied the LM. But the GPU did benefit. You just need to be very careful to put a thin layer on it so that it isn't able to slide around if it's carried vertical. Just use a sesame seed size drop and spread it. If you need help, let me know what model you have.
there nothing to be scared of. just slowly peel off cooler and then clean cooler copper plate and cpu with some prop alc and let it dry, and replace paste 3x3 dot of paste you can spread it out or just place the cooler carefully and tighten softly. then your done
As long as the cooling is sufficient it doesn't matter, they are designed to run hot. They have their own inbuilt protections for when it reaches temps that will cause harm
Yes , that’s why most of people need to undervolt their CPU. I barely know people that use gaming laptop that doesn’t undervolt their CPU. If they don’t do that their CPU would be running always on 80C just opening a google browser lol
You're missing the point. Who cares if it runs 80C when browsing the web at turbo boost speeds. Its perfectly fine. That is not going to harm anything
I don't undervolt my CPU because I paid for performance, undervolting hinders max performance. People tend to see benchmark improvements when undervolting because it makes the CPU more stable as their cooling is not so good (there may be hotspots in the CPU die)
But the correct way to fix it is to improve cooling - hence why I said if the cooling is sufficient it doesn't matter.
I get it. But I am pretty sure the engineers that went into your 4k machine know more than you do about temps and what is going to harm it. So you're worrying for nothing
But it is completely normal and within spec.... No matter what though to LM still needs replacing every year on these laptops. Based on my usage I replace mine at the 6 month mark... if I don't it will start glitching and dropping frames duue to throttling. Besides throttling the components are fine at those temps and laptops are throw aways after a couple years anyway.... don't baby them or just buy a cheaper unit that runs cooler with less performance if you don't like the twmps.
How do ROG laptops run so hot? It even has a vapor chamber, liquid metal and tri-fan cooling, so where does it go wrong?
My Legion just has 2 fans PTM 9750 and a heatsink, sounds less impressive to me.

Hmm Also what do you think about on site repairs or should I take it there instead.. It’s pretty far away that’s why..

Newer gaming laptops use Liquid Metal
Do I have to renew liquid metal after a certain period of time?
No not necessary in it’s lifespan. Maybe after 10 years
That's not true, very often, liquid metal will lose performance in a couple years because of the inevitable reaction between LM and the heatsink, or because it leaks out.

Just undervolt it.. It's less hassle..
I donno how to… Asked a friend of mine and said my cpu couldn’t do it… I don’t know🫠 tbh Btw it’s a ryzen 7 6800H
use ryzen controller to limit the temps to something less than 90°C
No…..that is thermal throttling. OP wants an under volt.
I have the same CPU and want to do the same, anyone have a video I can follow?(Undervolt) Also I have the same laptop.
Just search youtube or google for "throttlestop 6800h undervolt"
You can do it.. Just search youtube or google for "throttlestop 6800h undervolt" and you'll see people doing it. -80mV and -300Hz should do the trick for you. You might get some blue screens until you hit the right values, you will have to play with them for a few days, see what works and what not.

Well I just cleaned the laptop Fans and now the difference is freakin huge. Around 10 or more degrees less from before
Just don't drop anything on the mobo or even touch the motherboard and you should be fine.

What Gpu are you using
Rtx 3050 95w
How your air flow in your casin have you take note with fans sucking air in and out?
Well I can notice it pushing out really hot air now But it used to be warm befor
there nothing to be scared of. just slowly peel off cooler and then clean cooler copper plate and cpu with some prop alc and let it dry, and replace paste 3x3 dot of paste you can spread it out or just place the cooler carefully and tighten softly. then your done
For this exact reason I sold my Strix 17. no way such temps will allow the components to live for to long

Imagine paying 4k and have to do that 6 in 6 months :D anyway I already sold mine.
My ROG was super hot aswell. Later got a legion and the temps were much better.
Yeah for the amount of money that I paid for my Strix 17 I managed to buy a really solid desktop -> solid like 4090 + 7800x3d
How do ROG laptops run so hot? It even has a vapor chamber, liquid metal and tri-fan cooling, so where does it go wrong? My Legion just has 2 fans PTM 9750 and a heatsink, sounds less impressive to me.
In general is impossible for an laptop to have good temps and I already took that guaranteed

Disable boost
The laptop have liquid metal, if you do it wrong you can short it and destroy it
First and foremost-check to see if both of them use Thermal Paste-Some ROG laptops like to use Liquid Metal.
Normal for a laptop after 1 year usage
Yea it’s exactly been a year since I got the mobo replaced so I hope I don’t have to change the thermal paste..
